Lock in a great price for Hotel am Schloss – rated 8.4 by recent guests!

The parking was discounted at the Schloss car park by the hotel stamping the ticket. This made parking reasonable and very convenient. All staff were friendly and check in was smooth and helpful.
The location is spot on for Heidelburg especially with the lift giving direct access into the hotel.
Breakfast was simple but adequate.
Overall a pleasant stay.

A nice modern hotel on top of the P12 Garage, excellent staff, 3 minute walk from the centre of the old city, next to the tram up to the castle, FANTASTIC view of the castle from the hotel terrace. Nice breakfast with very friendly service. If you are seeing old Heidelberg this is there perfect hotel.

What Travelers Love About This Location

“The hotel is very newly renovated. The bed is very soft and comfortable with blankets of enough fluff. The location is in the middle of the old city and just below the castle and easily reachable by bus or foot.”

“The hotel staff were very helpful. The location was good, but I couldn't find the parking garage, even though it's under the hotel.”

100% Verified Reviews

To keep the rating score and review content relevant for your upcoming trip, we archive reviews older than 24 months.

Only a customer who has booked through Booking.com and stayed at the property in question can write a review. This allows us to verify that our reviews come from real guests like you. Who better to tell others about the free breakfast, friendly staff, or their comfortable room than someone who’s stayed at the property?

We want you to share your story, with both the good and the not-so-good. All we ask is that you follow a few simple guidelines.

Reviews Vision

We believe review contributions and property responses will highlight a wide range of opinions and experiences, which is critical in helping guests make informed decisions about where to stay.

Reviews Principles

Contributions to Booking.com are a reflection of the dedication of our guests and properties, so we treat them with the utmost respect.

Whether negative or positive, we'll post every comment in full, as quickly as possible, after it's moderated to comply with Booking.com guidelines. We'll also provide transparency over the status of submitted content.

After a review has been submitted, you can modify it by contacting Booking.com customer service.

We'll use the same guidelines and standards for all user-generated content, and for the property responses to that content.

We'll allow the contributions to speak for themselves, and we won’t be the judge of reality. Booking.com’s role is to be a feedback distributor for both guests and properties.

Guidelines and Standards for Reviews

These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.

Contributions should be travel related. The most helpful contributions are detailed and help others make better decisions. Please don’t include personal, political, ethical, or religious commentary. Promotional content will be removed and issues concerning Booking.com’s services should be routed to our Customer Service or Accommodation Service teams.

Contributions should be appropriate for a global audience. Please avoid using profanity or attempts to approximate profanity with creative spelling, in any language. Comments and media that include hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, sexually explicit remarks, violence, or the promotion of illegal activity are not permitted.

All content should be genuine and unique to the guest. Reviews are most valuable when they are original and unbiased. Your contribution should be yours. Booking.com property partners should not post on behalf of guests or offer incentives in exchange for reviews. Attempts to bring down the rating of a competitor by submitting a negative review will not be tolerated.

Respect the privacy of others. Booking.com will make an effort to obscure email addresses, telephone numbers, website addresses, social media accounts, and other similar details.

The opinions expressed in contributions are those of Booking.com customers and properties, and not of Booking.com. Booking.com does not accept responsibility or liability for any reviews or responses. Booking.com is a distributor (without any obligation to verify) and not a publisher of these comments and responses.

By default, reviews are sorted based on the date of the review and on additional criteria to display the most relevant reviews, including but not limited to: your language, reviews with text, and non-anonymous reviews. Additional sorting options might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

눉The hotel was a little difficult to find. We did not realize it was on the top of the carpark by the chairlift to the castle. As we were looking for a hotel complex it took a while to find. Perhaps this information can be put on the advertising for the hotel.

눇The parking was discounted at the Schloss car park by the hotel stamping the ticket. This made parking reasonable and very convenient. All staff were friendly and check in was smooth and helpful.
The location is spot on for Heidelburg especially with the lift giving direct access into the hotel.
Breakfast was simple but adequate.
Overall a pleasant stay.

눉Finding the entrance to the hotel was very confusing. I had read online that the hotel was located on top of a parking garage, but when walking the stairs up (all 6 floors), it lead to a dead end. We looked for signs on where to go and were still lost. We had to ask the parking garage attendant how to find the entrance to the hotel. Turns out you had to take an elevator to the 7th floor to get there.

Helmut

눉The entrance to P12 parking garage is not easy to find. Get the directions and put it in your GPS or you will drive in circles.

눇A nice modern hotel on top of the P12 Garage, excellent staff, 3 minute walk from the centre of the old city, next to the tram up to the castle, FANTASTIC view of the castle from the hotel terrace. Nice breakfast with very friendly service. If you are seeing old Heidelberg this is there perfect hotel.

Bethea

눉For the price we paid, breakfast was definitely sub-par. Also, the attitude of the male front desk staff member really coloured our experience. All guests should be treated respectfully, regardless of their gender and/or age. He spoke to us like unruly children on two separate occasions. Pretty upsetting, especially when we are paying so much for accommodation, and it was my birthday.

눇Perfect location - right in old town. Our room had a beautiful view of the castle. Female staff members were lovely and helpful.

Curtis

눉If you arrive after-hours (after 11pm) it's a little confusing. You have to go over to their sister property to get your keys to check in. The breakfast is ok, but it's pretty standard; nothing special.

눇The location is perfect, and the staff is very nice. The cleanliness of the hotel and the comfort-ability of the beds make it worth the stay.
